Leaders from Crowder College and Central Methodist University signed an articulation agreement Tuesday renewing the program transfer opportunity partnership between both schools.
CMU accepts all Associate of Arts, Associate of Arts Teaching, Associate of Applied Science, and Associate of Science degrees seamlessly upon graduation from Crowder College.
“We’re grateful to have such a strong relationship with our friends at Crowder College,” said Dr. Rita Gulstad, CMU provost. “We’re both committed to providing a seamless and supportive transfer experience.”
Articulation agreements are key to students transferring to four-year universities upon graduation. Central has many partnerships with institutions to aid students in their transfers.
“Crowder College strives to expand partnerships and opportunities for all of our students to continue their academic journey beyond graduation,” said Dr. Keith Zoromski, Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs at Crowder College. “This articulation agreement renewal serves as evidence that Crowder College values coordinating with each of its university partners to mutually support its students.”
